Ready to meet our digital discovery gal,
our first of the year? Meet Lisa Grant – mommy,
scrapbooker, designer! Lisa is a super fun gal who is
anything if not wonderfully eager! You can tell how big
her heart is from chatting with her, reading her
journaling and best of all, watching her work!
Lisa has a knack for bringing her subjects
to life – quite literally! – on her pages… I just love
the way she puts Jack in the spotlight – coming out
of the page into our laps! She certainly doesn’t shy
away from color, either, as any boy’s mom needs, but her
black and whites are just as amazing! You can tell this
dedicated mommy loves her boy and loves her hobby!
Congratulations, Lisa!

My Child's Eyes by Lisa Grant. Supplies:
All
supplies: Lisa Grant, Editing program: Photoshop
CS2.
Journaling: I am "Mommy". I am
a healer who can erase all pain. I am a hero and
will always protect him because I am invincible
and know no fear. I am always beautiful, even at
2:00 in the morning. I have the softest hair
(which he can hold onto every hour of the day). I
have an endless supply of "pennies", but that
doesn't matter because everything is free. Every
word that I say is hilarious, as long as at say it
with a huge smile on my face. I can sing "Twinkle"
better than anybody because I am singing directly
to him. But actually, when Jack gives me hugs or
when his sweet little voice says, "I love you,
Mommy" it gives me the strength to be a healer, a
fearless hero, and everything that he sees me to
be. I hope he knows how much strength I see in him
and I hope that I am always somewhere in that
small speck of light in my child's eyes.

notes: I took this picture
as my camera was slipping out of my hands and the
shot was just the top part of his face. I like the
clarity of his eyes so much, that I had to scrap
it. |

About the Designer
My husband, Jason, and I
have been married for almost 5 years and in 2005
my red-headed son Jack was born. He is the cutest
and most awesome child on the planet. He makes me
laugh everyday. I am living the same day-to-day
housewife life. I get up at 8:00 (yes, my
wonderful son sleeps 10 hours a night) and after 5
diapers, 4 meals, 3 temper tantrums, 2 trips
outside, 1 nap (for Jack), and 1/2 hour of sitting
down at the computer (or a bit more)... I go to
bed. I love to take naps, only I never do.
I also love almost frozen
IBC cream soda....yum yum. If you ever go to
Coldstone Creamery, their cakebatter ice cream is
awesome, but if you would rather not waste the
money, I have a recipe that tastes the exact same.
Butter flavored Crisco makes the softest cookies-
PEOPLE, DO NOT OVERBAKE! I love the sound of a
piano. I also love to go to church with my hubby
and son, and I'm thankful for the desire to be
there. I am active in a mommy-baby workout group
that I love to go to so I can get out of the
house.
I am really into digital
scrapbooking and anything Photoshop. I never
really did paper scrapbooking- I went right for
digital and never looked back. I create most of my
own products (which are heavily inspired by
others) because I am on a budget and I like to
challenge myself. When I do buy other products
they only come from Designer Digitals, because the
ladies there are great and I love their style.
Most of this bio came from my MySpace page- my
other obsession- I don't really know why. Thank
you for selecting me for this honor. It is nice to
have your work noticed by others.
